Bizzare Footballer Injuries

[ijjysmith]

Just been reading about Sergio Aguero's 'stupid foot injury' and there's list of others:

•Richard Wright: Injured shoulder falling through loft while trying to pack away suitcases
•Rio Ferdinand: Strained knee tendon watching TV
•Dave Beasant: Severed tendon in big toe by dropping bottle of salad cream on foot
•David James: Pulled back muscle reaching for TV remote control
•Alex Stepney : Dislocated jaw shouting at team-mates
•Charlie George: Cut off finger with lawnmower
•Kirk Broadfoot: Burned face when egg he had just poached exploded
•Jerome Boateng: Aggravated knee injury in collision with airline drinks trolley

Are there any other you know of?

Richard Wright as we knew had a few more stupid injuries more than the one you put

Who dropped a bottle of aftershave on their foot?

Didn't Richard Wright also injure himself in a pre-match warmup by clattering into a goalpost or something? Had something to do with the goal anyway.

He fell on a sign in front of the goal syaing something like 'dont play here before kick off' or something.

That's it! Was it the "grass grows by the inch.." sign? Remember him getting the piss ripped out of him at the time.

A few more on there http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/may/15/football-freak-injuries-broadfoot-egg

Sean Flynn The then-Kidderminster captain suffered a broken nose, busted lip and bruised toes after tripping over his son's toy cars.

Thats a good one lol

Darius Vassell The then Aston Villa striker missed several games after he drilled through his toe nail with a home power drill thinking it would relieve the pressure on a swollen toe. The attempt at DIY surgery succeeded only in giving the toe an infection which required medical attention.

Bit pain full.

Who dropped a bottle of aftershave on their foot?

that Spanish goalie, played for Valencia. Did it before the 2002 World Cup. Name escapes me

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I like the Alex Stepney one, dislocating his jaw shouting at team mates haha. You could just see Tim Howard doing the same thing

 

[BlueLlama]

Actually didn't Richard Wright fall over a sign on the pitch in the warm up once?

Webcam and Valencia's Ever Banega is currently out injured after being run over by his own car. He got out of it, didnt leave his handbrake on and the rest can pretty much be imagined.

Jari Litmanen has legendary injuries including an eye injury from opening a soda, concussion from turf, concussion from ball hitting his head and then an ear injury, again from a ball.

Hahahaha some of those are quality. I'm not even feeling guilty for lolling.

Kevin Phillips did his back in turning over in bed apparently. Can't find a link though.

There's been a few crackers, AC legend Alessandro Nesta once ruptured tendons in his thumb playing on the playstation all night

I've personally strained my groin while getting out of the bath.
